New England’s run toward its potential lifting of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup will start with a road match at New York Red Bulls in one of five all-MLS ties, as the pairings for the Fourth Round proper were announced Thursday morning.
The draw for the Fourth Round took place at Soccer House, the headquarters of US Soccer, in Chicago.
The matchup, which will be played on Tuesday, June 11 at 7:30 p.m., at Montclair State University's MSU Soccer Park in Montclair, N.J., will be the fourth time the Revs have met up with the Red Bulls in this competition. New England has only won one of those three outings, a 4-2 win at Harvard University’s Jordan Field on June 12, 2013.
Two years ago, the Revs were ousted by the Red Bulls, 1-0, at Harvard.
In the other matchup in the Northeast Region pod, New York City FC will host North Carolina FC of the USL Championship. North Carolina beat the amateur Florida Soccer Soldiers in Wednesday night’s third-round matchup, 1-0, for its second win in the tournament.
It is expected the winners of those two matches will face each other in the Round of 16 on Tuesday, June 17, or Wednesday, June 18.
A reminder: in the Open Cup, should the match find itself tied after 90 minutes, there will be 30 minutes of extra time, no golden goal. If still tied, it goes to penalties.
The other Fourth Round ties are as follows:
DC United hosts Philadelphia Union
